Even if the using of Nes Sprite would be cool in some way, I like the Chibi Shredder sprite that Dcat createt more.^^

I second (or maybe I should say "third'ed") this sentiment!  I think that chibi sprite needs to suggest an in-between state between the regular form and the fully de-evolved form.  I think that weird-looking thing Dcat cooked up works just fine.

I don't want to do that. I'll most likely use Bikini Shredder as the Midight Bliss. Maybe Karai will appear in a winpose or as an assist, I'll have to see.

I've just completed the Retromutation / Pharaoh's Curse sprites using some sheets from Spriter's Resource
Used KingPepe's Mighty Final Fight sheets for Shrunken Shredder and TheouAegis's rips from Inssmouth Mansion for the Monkey.

hehe, is that a "chibi" Shredder on the left?

I was kinda thinking you could even go the route of that impish Shredder clone from the Return to New York comics and cartoon episode if you wanted.

I'm glad to hear you might be able to work Karai into his sprite set somewhere.

Dcat, I think I'd try to find a way to use both Karai and bikini Shredder!

Is the April just there for comparison?

Okay, I was hesitant about the bikini Shredder idea, but I think you might have just sold me on it!

I think the Aska sprite is a nice homage, but I'd also love to see your takes on Karai for the sake of comparison.  I prefer the brown hair color based off April's palette more than the silver-look, which kinda looks like a color glitch.

Well... I like it.  The spikes are pretty shoddy, but it's better than I could ever do!

Of course, it's nowhere near as awesome as Dcat's stuff.

I'm very much a Mugen noob who can't identify the character bases for anything but the Capcom Marvel characters.  I beg you veterans to pardon my low standards and crass tastes in sprite art.

It's ok if you are not good at creating sprites, many users of the community like me can't make good sprites also and talk like they are the "great overlord of sprite creation" or something like that, and it's ok too that you like the Shredder sprite, and you don't have to apologize for it.^^
The members of this community are sometimes a little eccentric about there favourite chars, so don't take it personally if there comments are somtimes a little harsh.

Ha, thanks, moep!  It doesn't really bother me; I just try not to embarrass myself on this board with my fan-boy-ism.

If I remember the episode right it was not the shuriken who exploded, Shredder used the shuriken to hit a grenade in a showcase with some old weapons in it, and the the old grenade exploded then.

But the idea of Shredder using exploding shuriken's is still great.   ;D

I never even thought about that before until you mentioned it, but I think you are probably right!  They were in a historical weapons display room and I think he did throw the star at some explosive devices.  What a good eye you've got, moep!

More classic intros!
Slowly working my way up to coding the April's apartment cutscene from the '89 arcade game.

Ah, yeah, bring on more epic cutscenes!  I can't wait to see how you're going to work April into Shredder's M.O.

Also I've been watching a few episodes of the old cartoon for inspiration and I've decided to include the explosive ninja star attack that Shredder uses during his retreat in 'Turtles on Trial'. I'm thinking it could have a few handy uses, first hit sinks into the opponent, 2nd hit occurs when the ninja star detonates. Could also work as delayed proximity mines if the star whiffs and hits the ground or the side of the screen instead of the opponent. Damage negated if the opponent successfully blocks.

Turtles on Trial is my favorite post-pilot season episode.  I just think it's the most definitive showcase of the whole series; it just has every essential element of the show on display and the TMS animation is stunning to behold.

That whole bit with Shredder in the museum might be the pinnacle of the that episode.  That exploding star he throws is just so memorable!

Yea this Bikini Shredder looks nice, btw. I remember there exist a "Lady Shredder" in the Comics if im not wrong.

Yes, in the Image Comics there was both an unnamed "Lady Shredder" character who appeared near the end of the run, and a character called Pimiko, who was was a scantily clad female ninja. 

In the recently fan-published continuation of the series (which had the blessing and input of the actual Image Comics creative team), it was revealed that the Lady Shredder was actually Tang Amaya (the sister of Tang Shen, the wife of Hamato Yoshio who both were slain by the Shredder).  Pimiko was also revealed to be the daughter of Lady Shredder.  They unintentionally killed each another at the last issue's conclusion:

Aw, dcat your Irma is adorable!  Too bad we'll only get to see her under such twisted circumstances as the Midnight Bliss attack.

I forget, will Shredder & Krang have an attack equivalent to Demitri's Midnight Bliss that will bring out your custom female sprites?

Your Horridus sprite is fabulous, dcat!


I'll get to work on Donatello's next, it'd be preferable if his Bliss was a mutant or non-human just for the simplicity of the color palette's sake and to keep with the theme of the rest of the gang. If there's no better fitting option than Irma though I'd gladly include her as well.

Uhh... Rat-mutant Irma?   ;P
I'm afraid that's the best I've got; I'm drawing a mental blank on female mutant Donny counterparts!

I would turn michael into april and donatello into irma, if you go that way of using outside characters.

Ya know, Irma would actually make a lot of sense for Donatello's transformation!  She kinda flirted with him on a couple of instances in the '87 series.  And her purple-ish color scheme would mesh well with Donatello's bandana color of choice.  I support an Irma transformation!

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Additionally I've been spriting Midnight Bliss based on the turtles' respective female counterparts or romantic interests.
Raphael and Leonardo's are complete thus far with their Midnight Bliss forms being Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo from the 1987 toon and the 1997 Next Mutation live action series respectively. Mikey's will be Kala the Neutrino from Dimension X, but I'm stumped on what to do for Donatello. I can't remember, did Donny ever have a love interest in any of the series? Or was there ever like a female counterpart to Donatello that I'm forgetting, doesn't have to be a romantic interest just a character that was portrayed as the female Donatello archetype?  I was playing with the idea of it being Metalhead or some generic robot since the title theme has made it canonical that Donatello does machines but I wasn't sure people would get the joke. Any suggestions?

Whoa.  THIS I didn't expect!

As far as Donny's romantic crushes, the obvious one would be April O'Neil from the 4Kids and the upcoming Nick toon.  In the Mirage comics story (at least the 4Kids episode adaptation of it) "The People's Champion" he was also somewhat fond of the intergalatic warrior "Jhanna." In the Japanese manga comics, he was very concerned with Kris Mu, although maybe not romantically so.

The "does Machines" joke was kinda funny, but I'd probably avoid those connotations.  :-)

Also, with Michelangelo, you could also pair him with Horridus (Image Comics) or Regenta (Mirage Comics Volume 4), both of whom he had some... "intimate" time with.

My guess is that this is one of the Shredder's after-image clones.  Am I right?

EDIT: Just read the sprite file name.  heh
